Local Bookshops

Although the location has changed a few times, Cartoon Shop has been in Basildon for as long as most people can remember. For many, it's one of the only places in the county you can get comics. Others go there for other collectibles like cards and figures.
Some long -term customers now bring new generations along, so it should keep going for as long as the owner can.

When ever I enter this shop I will see all the information I need and it is very easy to look around. The passageways are aways clear to walk round, and the items I like are easy to reach. The The staff are very friendly and helpful. I would recommend you take a look at all they have as you will be surprised at what there to be found. Good Hunting.

Whsmith best selection of magazines anywhere! Everything else is sadly overpriced - books, stationary and greeting cards. All cheaper online. But it would be a sad day if Whsmith went the same way as so many high street stores & disappeared.

Amazing shop, there are some great deals and the staff there are really helpful and kind! If you're looking for stationary for school, drawing utensils, pens and felt tips, fineliners or any kind of trendy things, this is the best place to go to!

Great customer service, staff are always pleasant and it's a well stocked shop. Love the store!
